Are you making fast progress in the gym?

Great, then don't read what I'm about to say. For everyone else who is struggling...

Plateaus suck. We all know that.

Lifting can be extremely satisfying, but it can also be supremely frustrating if you’re not getting results fast enough and you don’t know what to do to get the weight moving again.

And where do you find the information you need to break through those plateaus?

5-minute YouTube videos? Short articles with a clickbait headline?

Nope. If anything, that stuff just makes everything more confusing.

Most of the information in the fitness industry only gives you tidbits – information that might be interesting, but that doesn’t really change your training or understanding in any real way.

When I talk to clients, readers, and subscribers, I can see that a lot of people are missing a lot of the “puzzle pieces” required.

If you’re stuck, if you’re at a plateau, or if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all of the conflicting lifting information out there, here’s the harsh reality:

It’s not going to get better if you keep doing the same thing and if you keep reading and watching the same surface-level content.

That can mean wasted potential. Wasted months or years that could have been productive and gainful.

Don’t be that bro who had crazy newbie gains then never got any stronger.

So what's the difference between stuck and un-stuck?

It’s simple: You must know how to optimize each lift and your training program for your own body and preferences.

Tweaking your form for a lift to make it optimal for your body can help you add weight to the bar RIGHT NOW. (I’ve seen dozens of clients PR immediately after I’ve given them a few pointers on this topic.)

And learning how to adjust your program based on what your body responds to will insure you ALWAYS have a way to keep making progress and being productive in the gym.

Learning to optimize each lift for your body, and learning to adjust your program based on what you best respond to: These 2 simple things are the difference between stuck and un-stuck, and often the difference between novice lifters and elite liters.

Easier said than done, though, right?

For me, learning the information needed to adjust programs and lifting technique took about 10 years. It took:

Committing myself to reading exercise science research 2 hours a day, every day for a decade.

Coaching dozens of athletes.

Trial-and-error with my own body and programming.

Talking with some of the best coaches in the world about these topics.

Now, that worked for me since I’ve made lifting and exercise science my full-time job. But you probably don’t have time for that.

I’ve condensed all that research, all that in-the-trenches experience both as an athlete and a coach, and all those conversations with other great coaches

If you want to do all the work for yourself, more power to you. It’s hard work. But, if you want to skip all that and learn everything you need to know right now, keep reading.

Years of research and experience condensed in an easily digestible format to help you bust through plateaus and make long-term progress.

I've sorted through the complicated, conflicting information so you don't have to.

The Lifting Lyceum will teach you the correct information and help you understand and implement it immediately. No more sorting through the BS or wondering how to make progress: I purposefully made this the most comprehensive video database I could imagine – with a total of more than 12 hours of video footage.

Questions we'll answer:

The first three seminars are on the Big 3, the squat, bench, and deadlift. For each lift, we'll talk about:

How to personalize your setup

Correcting technique flaws

Accessory movements

Bringing up weaknesses

Equipment

Cues

Warming up

Relevant anatomy and biomechanics

We'll also discuss issues relevant to each lift, such as high bar vs. low bar vs. front squat on the squat, sumo vs. conventional on the deadlift, and different grip widths on the bench.

Seminars 4, 5, and 6 give you the tools for long-term progress:Work Capacity, Training and Programming for Hypertrophy, and Training and Programming for Strength

4. Work Capacity

Training more is usually better, if you can handle it. But what happens when you can no longer recover well enough to keep doing more, or when you simply get so worn out during your workouts that you can’t do more?

We'll address:

Determining how much work you can do, and how much work you should be able to do

I am confident in saying this is the most information for the smallest price tag in the industry.
